Meryl is just awesome. I took my 8-month-old son to get his photographs taken, and the experience was wonderful. Meryl rolled with the flow on so many levels. When we arrived, my son was asleep. No problem, she said. She took time to talk to me about what kinds of photographs I was looking for. When he finally woke up, we took some photographs of him naked.
She kept him smiling and engaged, and didn't flinch once when he peed on her stuff. Then we took another round of photographs downstairs, and when he peed again on the floor, not a problem. I was so impressed with how kid-friendly and professional Meryl was, and I'm thrilled to recommend her for your baby and other portraits.

Meryl worked her magic with our family - she created one of the best days we had with our teeenagers in 2020. Her talent speaks for itself - you can see how she captures the beauty of each person and the sense of the moment. What you don't see is how great you feel during her photoshoots. Her humor, warmth and commitment to excellent photographs were ever-present.

Meryl is an amazing and very talented photographer. We've worked with her twice now - once for newborn and then again for infant photos, and I cannot wait for our next session with her! She takes very natural, artistic, and simply wonderful photos. Especially her black and white work is phenomenal. I'm always amazed how she captures us "in the moment", and she always surprises us with some natural, real shots that we didn't even notice her take! - Like a surprise detail shot or a shot from an unexpected angle! If you want authentic and artistic photos that aren't overly posed or staged, she's a

Meryl took family photos for me ten years ago, and I recently asked her to take senior photos. Both shoots were great experiences. Meryl is very professional and able to put her subjects at ease. Most importantly, the results are great. I'm planning to hire Meryl again for a head shot.

We have had Meryl take our family photos multiple times and we have been very happy with the results. She has photographed my kids since they were little and really captures their spirit at each stage. Recently we added a puppy to the family photo, which added some chaos to the shoot, but Meryl took it in stride and the photos were wonderful. I highly recommend her.

We had family photos taken this fall with our eleven-month-old daughter. Meryl captured her so beautifully. I love all the little faces and moments she caught -- familiar little expressions that our daughter makes every day, but of course I never could possibly catch on camera. Meryl did it wonderfully. Our outdoor shots came out so well. I love the colors of the leaves! You really can't tell it was a dreary day ... Meryl's photos make it look bright and beautiful. Thank you so much, Meryl!

What a fantastic experience with Meryl! She shot pictures for our triplet's senior portraits and I am so happy with how they turned out. She was able to capture their personalities and made the kids feel comfortable with getting their pictures taken. The pictures were all taken outdoors and she even suggested we come back a second day because of some crazy weather, just so she could get the right shots and we could be really comfortable with what we received. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants natural pictures that capture who you are!

We contacted Meryl after seeing her beautiful portraits on display in the community. My husband and I were both drawn to her work because it conveyed a recognizable, beautiful, “real life” story about the person(s) in the photo. Since then, my family has used Meryl for our family pictures and professional portraits, and we love her work! Personally, I don’t enjoy being photographed but Meryl makes the experience pleasurable. We laugh for most of the session, and the hardest thing about it is picking the pictures we like best to post and print. We will definitely be using her for our photograph

Meryl did family pictures for us in May - despite the rain, she did a fantastic job. She got great pictures of my very wiggly and shy 2.5 year old and of the entire family. She also had good ideas about how to get my little guy engaged. We are thrilled with the pictures and I highly recommend Meryl for both professional and family pictures. - Becky, August 2012

Meryl photographed our wedding in March. We are extremely happy with the quality of the photographs as well as Meryl's ability to catch the essence of us and our close friends. She not only did a fantastic job with the photographs, she became another guest because of her ability to graciously interact with everyone present. I'd hire again in a heartbeat and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to capture who you are in any given moment.
